Hi Ian,Thank you so much. The pattern was unintended, but ended up being perfect for our current season.You compliment on the photos is so appreciated, as I always enjoy your garden photos!You make me want to be a more adventuresome baker (with all of the interesting flavor combinations you create), and you make me want to be a better gardener, too.:^) breadsong

make me miss autumn. I love the bread that really looks perfect together your autumn pictures. I once saw a really great looking bread where the baker put a leave shape on the crust. It reminds me of your bake. Well done.

Hi,The seed patterns on Franko's loaves were very pretty, weren't they!You could probably cut your own leaf stencil. I've done that, using acetate, or even plain paper (a cutting mat is helpful, for a cutting surface).This is a leaf pattern I've used, using a stencil I found at a craft store.

I don't enjoy your beautiful rye bread but the beautifully crafted pictures of the last of the fall leaves really makes it for one who grew up with them but no longer sees them very often in the desert southwest - except when photographed so well.- You filled my day with nostalgia and fine bread. Thanks and
